    Have you ever taken any classes (or been active) at the YMCA?

    Have you, or anyone you know, ever actually stayed there (like the song suggests it's fun to do?)

    I'm sure Red will eventually chime in. When I was in college, some of my roommates and I had student memberships but that was a long time ago.

    Oh, Alan how you know me! You might be surprised that I have actually been seriously considering canceling my Y membership and going to the cheap $10 a month place.

    I really love the family atmosphere of the Y, but about a month ago, somebody I know went to the Y and got a reduced rate and I know in the realm of what they make, and their Y membership is almost free ($10 a month). I pay almost $60 a month for just me and my son. I think that is totally bull because apparently they are pretty flexible on who they offer reduced rates to, and my high ass rate is what covers those people.

    But they do offer a nice amount of free classes (the paid ones are high though...$6 for 90 minute spin. and about $26 for any six week sessions.)

    I don't think many, if any, Y's still have accomodations for people to stay over.

    I went to YMCA summer camp in 1977 or whatever summer it was that Elvis died. I had a blast and met some great friends.

    Nope - haven't set foot in one, either, but I have a friend who works in one. Smile

    I briefly taught swimming at the YMCA back when I was in college.

    It's been years (decades) since I've been in one. I heard that their services are a bit on the expensive side, and considering how small and congested Y's generally are, I don't know if they have anything going on there that would be worth my investing in.
